The 2012 Innovation Award recognizes IBV’s outstanding contribution to the online lending industry. Among more than 10 competitive companies, industry peers voted IBV as the lending industry’s newest and most innovative underwriting tool. IBV, currently a U.S. based solution will expand its footprint in the coming months to Canada, the UK and then Australia.

IBV was developed based on the lenders desire to make more informed decisions. If lenders could know variables such as, what the borrower had in the bank, when they got paid and how much, in real-time, it would be a game changer.

In fact, MicroBilt’s Instant Bank Verification (IBV) does just that and whole lot more -- verifying a borrower’s bank account in real-time allows lenders to immediately assess the risk and bank account status of applicants. By greatly simplifying this step in the loan process, IBV allows lenders to close more loans at lower cost and less risk.

Prior to IBV, the industry relied heavily on predictive data solutions to make credit decisions. Now, with IBV, lenders are able to make risk based decisions by actually viewing banking account data in real time in order to make lending decisions. Additional value was brought to the product with full transactional data, over 60 aggregated data points, style sheets, scores, SSN verification, OFAC watch list, and address details. This information is available in XML, JSON and on MB.com. Current coverage includes over 95% of financial institutions in the U.S. and over 20,000 banks worldwide.

MicroBilt’s EVP of sales, Quinn Thomas commented, “We are very pleased to accept the innovation award for IBV from OLA as there were some outstanding solutions submitted from more than 10 of the top companies in our space.”

Sean Albert, MicroBilt SVP, concurred, “It truly is an honor to be recognized by our peers and it demonstrates our commitment to delivering leading edge solutions to the market.”

IBV greatly increases convenience for both the consumer and lender by allowing fully automated loan decisioning. Lenders can offer loans more quickly while reducing the cost of acquiring necessary information. With more essential data, lenders can better screen their customers and reduce portfolio risk. Consumers get a quicker decision on the funds they badly need. They are less likely to abandon and are more satisfied with the experience.

Ultimately, IBV is a very simple solution resulting in profound results. More loans, automated in a faster, cheaper, more accurate manner, with greater customer satisfaction.
